Many Germans were looking forward to officially starting the MMORPG Throne and Liberty (PC, PS5, Xbox) today on the holiday, October 3rd. However, all servers are down for maintenance, as the first update is coming. But probably not for Xbox yet.
Update 5.10.: The servers of Throne and Liberty have been taken down again for maintenance on October 5th. Here you will find all the information about it:
What is the server status for Throne and Liberty? Since 9:30 AM this morning, all servers for Throne and Liberty have been down. It is mentioned on Twitter that the downtime starts at 12:30 AM PT – which corresponds to 9:30 AM our time.
Due to an update, server maintenance is required. All 47 European servers are also down, Amazon has already added several servers here due to a large influx at launch.
The servers are planned to come back online around 3:30 PM German time.

What does the patch bring? Update 1.1.0 is coming – it fixes bugs in the user interface and optimizes certain aspects to make getting started in Throne and Liberty easier.
There are things like: Boss effects are easier to see.
Some bugs in the guild search have been fixed. On the PS5, some untranslated sentences are being localized retroactively.
What is up with Xbox and PS5? Yes, that is a bit strange. Because there are some specific changes for Xbox, such as the graphics on the world map now always being in high resolution. However, the patch for Xbox is not yet coming, and it will probably take a while longer.
German players seem to be frustrated due to the server downtime
In any case, it seems quite unfortunate for German players that on the holiday of October 3rd, a new MMORPG has servers down for the first 6 hours. This will disrupt many plans to start the game.
Update, 3:31 PM: The maintenance is complete. At 3:24 PM, Amazon announced on Twitter that all servers are available again. However, some players seem to still have issues accessing Throne and Liberty. Releases of new MMORPGs are not running so smoothly, after all.
Have fun playing. Until the next downtime.

The Dane Rasmus “Caps” Winther (24) is the best player in League of Legends outside of Asia. Once again, midlaner Caps and his team G2 are the only hope in the West to win something at the World Championships in LoL, the LoL World 2024. In an interview, Caps talks about chances and goals.
How good is Caps? Caps is considered an exceptional player in LoL. He is one of the few Western players, perhaps even the only one, who can compete with the world’s best players competing in the LCK and LPL. Some go so far as to say: G2 is the only team in the West that can even compete with Europe in terms of strength over the USA, and that is solely due to Caps.
In 2019, Caps reached the finals of the LoL Worlds but lost to Doinb and FunPlus Phoenix. The then version of G2 with Perkz, Jankos, and Caps was probably the strongest non-Asian team in modern LoL times. However, they had no chance against FunPlus Phoenix at that time.
For several years now, after several top players from G2 have aged and left the organization, G2 no longer seems capable of playing a significant role internationally. Since 2021, the results have been disappointing. According to Caps, that will change in 2024.

LoL: Chinese pro streams after bitter defeat – Wants people to roast him
Caps wants to win the Worlds once and be the best before he retires
This is what he says about his former self: In an interview with Dexerto, Caps talks about how he got the desire to become a pro in LoL:
I mean, for me, it’s worlds apart. It feels good to be here. In Season 3, I saw Faker win the Worlds, and I thought: ‘Oh, I want to be that. Since then, I’ve only spawned in the solo queue. Eventually, I dropped out of school and joined Fnatic in 2017, so I entered with the mindset that I want to win the Worlds and be the best. As long as I haven’t achieved that, I can’t just stop. I can’t stop grinding. I really want to achieve this, and I will do everything in my power to make it happen.
Dexerto then asks, he has been the best player in Europe for so long. He should be satisfied with his career, but Caps replies:
I mean, I don’t want to say that I’m not happy because that can feel somewhat disrespectful to others, right? In the end, it’s a competition. Not everyone can win. But if I were to give the 16 or 17-year-old Caps the phone and tell him that I haven’t won yet, he would definitely be mad at me. I need to win at least once.
Moving to South Korea or China, like his former teammate Rekkles and possibly becoming a world champion, is not an option for Caps. That would feel like cheating. He wants to achieve that with a team from Europe.
However, he misses strong competition in Europe. He currently learns the most when he plays against midlaners from the LCK or LPL. He has learned a lot from Perkz – having someone like that again would be great.
How does he see his chances? He doesn’t sound very confident, to be honest. In practice matches, the scrims, it’s been just mediocre so far. They are still looking for the right grasp on the meta. Nevertheless, Caps says he believes they will make it far in the tournament. Well.
In a 3-hour livestream, Blizzard explained what players can expect in Season 6 of Diablo 4. We summarize the information for you in 4 minutes.
On October 2, Blizzard explained in their YouTube livestream what new content will come with Season 6 in Diablo 4. They also discussed what changes they will make based on feedback from the PTR. The PTR ran in early September, and not all features were well received. Players felt: Diablo 4 is simply too exhausting in Season 6.
The developers evaluated the feedback and revised some content. Below, you will find out what to expect in Season 6 after the changes.
In the video, the developers explain the new difficulty levels:
Start video
Diablo 4 shows the new level system and difficulty levels in the video
Hardly any restrictions on difficulty levels during leveling
During leveling, there are four difficulty levels (Normal, Hard, Expert, Penitent) that you can essentially play from level 1, as soon as you complete the campaign. In the PTR, you could only switch to Penitent at level 50, which was criticized. In the endgame, there are four Torment levels, which you unlock gradually in the pit.
Monster levels will no longer be displayed; they are tied to the difficulty level you are playing on. “Tormented” bosses will then be available on all Torment levels; the higher the level you defeat them at, the more loot they will drop.
What changes will be made to the classes? With Season 6, all five classes will receive new uniques and new skills. Players have already been able to test both during the PTR. However, some classes and skills performed too weakly, prompting the developers to make adjustments to the classes:
What changes will be made to the materials? Regarding Masterworking, only Obsidian will drop. The other two crafting materials (Ingolith, Lesser Iron) will no longer be available. You can obtain Obsidian in Nightmare Dungeons, Hell Hordes, and the Undercity of Vessel of Hatred. Stygian Stones will also be removed.
What changes will be made to crafting and loot? The itemization will also receive another update. In the PTR, players criticized that more luck was needed for everything – the new season was changing the loot system for the worse.
Blizzard listened to the criticism and is once again adjusting the itemization. Loot drops will be adjusted and drop rates for individual items increased. Furthermore, especially normal legendaries will be revised to remain interesting longer while you grind the ancestral items. You can complete normal items 8 times and equip them with new affixes twice during hardening. Ancestral items will drop more frequently in Nightmare Dungeons and from chests from the Whispering Tree.
What seasonal content will be available? In the livestream, the developers presented the content of Season 6. In the “Season of Ascending Hatred,” there will be “Realm Walkers” – a new world event that you can visit regularly. When you defeat it, a portal to a dungeon opens.
A Realm Walker spawns in a region that changes every time every 15 minutes
Additionally, a second Realm Walker spawns near Nahantu once per hour
The first Realm Walker that spawns every hour is a task for the Whispering Tree
Every 3 hours, the Realm Walker that spawns in Nahantu is also a whisper
Furthermore, there will be a fresh seasonal journey, a new Battle Pass, and a group finder for all kinds of activities. From Season 6 onwards, you can also mark the waypoint of your “favorite city” as a favorite, to which you will be teleported by default. The wardrobe will then be accessible through the character menu. The Gauntlet and its leaderboards will be temporarily removed.
Season 6 begins on October 8 at 01:00 AM our time – simultaneously with the first expansion for Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred. The base game will also receive a major update. This means specifically: You will receive new features even if you do not purchase the DLC by then.
Shooter pro Tyson “TenZ” Van Ngo made a name for himself with Valorant. There he was considered a master, but he also has strong opinions about other shooters. He apparently sees no bright future for Counter-Strike 2 (Steam) at Valve. They are said to neglect the game in favor of the new MOBA hybrid Deadlock, which he predicts a bright future for. TenZ blames Valve’s boss Gabe Newell for this, claiming he hates Counter-Strike and is a “MOBA guy.”
This is what TenZ says about Counter-Strike 2: In a livestream, TenZ was asked what he believes the future holds for both of Valve’s games, Counter-Strike 2 and Deadlock.
According to TenZ, Counter-Strike is only receiving an “alibi treatment” from Valve; the shooter is essentially in maintenance mode like the shooter Team Fortress 2:
The upgrade from CS:GO to Counter-Strike 2 was only about bringing the game to the Source 2 engine.
As an example of how little is happening in Counter-Strike 2, he points out that CS2 received nothing major for its 1st birthday.
TenZ says: Valve treats Counter-Strike like a “damn adopted child.”

Counter-Strike 2: Valve once again impresses with the launch trailer
Deadlock receives preferential treatment
This is how he sees Deadlock: According to TenZ, Valve would shower the new MOBA-shooter hybrid Deadlock with love and therefore neglect Counter-Strike:
But the other reason is that they can just do it and say they did something and then fully work on Deadlock and release two complete patches with content. New characters, new jungle camps, new items, and everything, new graphics, every two weeks. But, happy birthday Counter-Strike, you got nothing.

TenZ believes: Gabe Newell simply hates Counter-Strike
What is the reason? TenZ singles out Gabe Newell as the person who likely hates Counter-Strike. Although the shooter has earned him billions of US dollars, he is never seen at events or tournaments, but is always present at the big DOTA 2 tournaments.
He is likely just a “MOBA guy” and therefore prefers Deadlock now. Because that is, after all, a MOBA.
TenZ is sure:
The guy just hates Counter-Strike. The game brings the studio a ridiculous amount of money and he’s like, “Meh.”
This is what’s behind it: Gabe Newell’s personal preferences surely play no role here, but it actually seems that Counter-Strike 2 is doing extremely well, yet Valve’s focus has clearly shifted to DOTA 2 and Deadlock over the past year. TenZ says there has been little new with Counter-Strike 2. The huge esports cycle is running, and Valve makes a fortune with skins, but there has been a lot of criticism about the game itself, especially from established figures like shroud or s1mple.
On Netflix, the probably best movie for Dungeons & Dragons is now available. Shortly after it was released on the platform, it has already made an impressive start.
Now, the film has been released in this country on Netflix and quickly climbed to number 1 on the most-watched content list (via flixpatrol.com). The reason for this is simple: Honor Among Thieves is a really good adventure film.
Start video
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – Second Official Trailer for the Movie
A film that understands its source material
What makes the film so good? In Honor Among Thieves, Chris Pine, who many of you may know as Captain Kirk from Star Trek, plays a thief. Together with a band of adventurers, he undertakes a heist that brings numerous dangers.
The story itself is not particularly unique; rather, the film shines with a likable cast, which includes Pratt, Michelle Rodriguez, Sophia Lillis, and Hugh Grant.
Especially the “party” in the film works together wonderfully harmoniously. As viewers, you feel like you are part of it – just like in a good round of pen & paper or while playing Baldur’s Gate 3.
The film takes its source material seriously and boasts many references to the Dungeons & Dragons rule set. At the same time, it is so well integrated into the story that the film never feels cumbersome. The humor also does not fall short, just as there are some absurd moments – as if someone backstage had messed up an important dice roll.
Who is the film suitable for? If you are a fan of Dungeons & Dragons, Baldur’s Gate 3, or similar games, you should not miss out on this fun. But fantasy fans in general should also enjoy Honor Among Thieves. It is currently enjoying great success on Netflix and is the most-watched film of the past few days. Unfortunately, it was not a success in cinemas, and Hugh Grant believes he knows the reason for that.

In Ultimate Team for EA FC 25 you can currently complete one of the best midfielders as a Squad Building Challenge (SBC). Given his stats, the card is a real bargain.We present the player to you and explain what makes him so strong.
What kind of Bundesliga professional is this? It’s about the card of Bayer Leverkusen’s new signing Aleix Garcia. The standard card, with a rating of 84, is among the better players in the Bundesliga.
The upgrades for the midfielder’s World Tour card compared to his gold card are:
Speed: +13
Shooting: +3
Passing: +2
Dribbling: +2
Defense: +4
Physical: +7
New playstyle: Through ball
New playstyle: Tiki-Taka
New playstyle: Anticipation
Ability: Weak foot: +1
How do you get World Tour Aleix Garcia? You can complete the card as an SBC. For this, you need to exchange two teams. The teams have the following requirements:
an 82-rated team with one Spaniard
an 84-rated team with one Bundesliga professional
How much does the SBC cost? On the EA FC service page Futbin lists the SBC for a price of just over 20,000 coins.
The SBC has received 95% positive ratings from over 1400 votes among Futbin users. And not only the fans largely agree that this SBC is a clear recommendation.

This is why the Aleix Garcia SBC for 20,000 coins is a must
Many well-known content creators from the German and English-speaking areas also agree that World Tour Aleix Garcia is one of the best SBCs, if not the best SBC at this point in FC 25.
As an example, you can watch the assessment by EA FC expert Daniel “DieHahn” Brandt on YouTube:

This is how strong the card is in-game: The EA FC service page EasySBC has given him a meta rating of 84.9 for his position as a defensive midfielder. This puts him just behind the legend Patrick Vieira (85.2), who is much more expensive at around 3 million.
Especially in speed and physicality, Aleix Garcia has received very strong upgrades. Thus, most of his stats are above 80. Only his physicality is slightly below that. At such an early stage of FC 25, few cards can impress with such good all-around values.
The new playstyles Tiki-Taka and Through ball for his passing are ideal for his position as a playmaker in midfield. Tiki-Taka gives him the ability to play short passes with great precision, even if he has to play them directly. The Through ball further increases the speed of his pressure passes, while being easier for the receiver to process.
With Anticipation as a defensive playstyle, he has perhaps the most important gameplay style for a defensive player in FC 25. It allows your player to win defensive duels with a higher probability for you.
Where should you play Aleix Garcia? Due to the upgrades, we recommend playing Aleix Garcia in the + role as a deep-lying playmaker in the Central Defensive Midfield (ZDM). Here he can best utilize his strengths.
All in all, the World Tour Aleix Garcia SBC for 20,000 coins is a very good price. As a Spaniard and Bundesliga professional, he is also easy to integrate into teams to achieve full team chemistry. If you want to complete the new SBC, you have until November 1st. With a squad builder, you can have the AI create a strong team around the Spaniard: EA FC 25: Squad Builder – Comparison and guide for your perfect team

The largest of these canceled projects was likely “Project Titan,” which was developed in the early 2010s and was discontinued after about 7 years of development work. It was supposed to be a new, large MMORPG from Blizzard – but it was never released.

The best MMORPGs of all time for PC and console
Project Titan – The MMORPG hope that died early
Although Project Titan is well-known in the gaming world, many details about it remain shrouded in mystery. Broadly, we only know that out of the remnants of the game, Overwatch was eventually born – the character designs were largely retained.
Journalist Jason Schreier discussed some internal matters at Blizzard in a podcast with the Limit Break Network, which he obtained for the research of his new book. This revealed new details.
According to Schreier, in Titan, players would assume the role of a character who engaged in ordinary daily activities during the day – almost like in a life simulation, similar to The Sims or Animal Crossing. This included activities like fishing, photography, and even full-time jobs.
However, this changed drastically at night, as players revealed their role as superheroes and could fight crime. Different hero classes were supposed to provide varied experiences.
Titan was the beginning of the end
According to Schreier, the failure of Titan was the trigger for Blizzard’s decline afterwards. The situation demonstrated to “Bobby Kotick that the promise of ‘You let us do our thing and we will create a hit for you’ was no longer valid.”
According to Schreier, Titan not only cost $80 million by the time of its cancellation but also incurred high opportunity costs. These are costs arising from the fact that something was not pursued – so during the time Project Titan was in development, other titles were not being worked on. A large part of the 7 years of development time was wasted.
Not only did the developers have to be paid during this time, but they also did not work on other games that could also have been completed.
Ultimately, Titan’s demise was partly due to the high expectations that Blizzard had. It was supposed to be a game that could compete with World of Warcraft and elevate the MMORPG genre to the next level – before other game studios could beat them to it.

The Anime to One Piece turns a proud 25 years old this year. To celebrate, the creators will soon release a special. Now there is a first trailer to see.
On the occasion of this anniversary, the studio behind the anime is releasing a new special. As announced on the official channel on x.com, it will be released on October 20 and is named One Piece FAN LETTER.
Start video
First Impressions of the Anime Special One Piece FAN LETTER in the Trailer
What is the special about? The story is based on the short story collection Strawhat Stories, written by Tomohito Osaki. Thus, the new anime is not canon, but uses the universe from One Piece.
The story revolves around various ordinary people whose lives are somehow influenced by the actions of the Straw Hat crew. It is said to be about a young girl who is a fan of Nami. In the trailer, we see first images that roughly sketched give a first impression of the special.
Who is behind the special? Directed by Megumi Ishitani, with character designs and animations done by Keisuke Mori. Both have been involved in the original anime of One Piece. So, veterans are at the helm who probably know how to please fans for the 25th anniversary.
This announcement also brings joy to fans on Reddit. User Kirosh2 writes: “If Megumi Ishitani is directing, it should be an excellent episode. I can’t wait.”

There should be a welcome tab. If you add that to your home screen, the next step is to search for official posts about Throne and Liberty via the Xbox app. It should then be possible to access details by clicking on the bottom right image. From there, you should be able to start the download. Multiple Reddit users confirm that this trick has worked for them.

A wonderful Tuesday evening to all MMO enthusiasts! My name is Karsten, and I will accompany you during the hopefully smooth release of Throne and Liberty. In just over an hour, the official launch servers are supposed to go live.
What you need to know: Since September 26, 2024, at 7:00 PM, the early access servers of Throne and Liberty have been live – with occasional interruptions. This evening, on October 1, 2024, the official launch servers of the MMORPG will also follow at 7:00 PM. The following servers have been confirmed by Amazon Games for launch:
Available at launch on October 1, 2024
Vortex
Penance
Starfall
Torrent
Adriana
Cornelius
Excavator
Benny
Launch servers – available later
Zarek
Arkhan
Basilisk
Ticker Alarm: In the coming hours, we will regularly check the server status for you and update this message.
Current news on server status can also be found on the official X channel of Throne and Liberty or in the server status section of the official Discord channel. In addition, there is an overview of the current server status on the official website of the MMORPG. You can find this overview at playthroneandliberty.com.
Early Access or Launch Servers?
The early access and launch servers each represent their own server group according to Amazon Games. The rules for these server groups:
Once both groups of servers are live, you can create new characters on the early access or full launch servers at any time (until the population cap). In other words: from launch, you can also create a character on the early access servers, regardless of whether you purchased an early access package or not.
You can switch from the full launch servers to the open early access servers at any time.
Amazon Games offers all players free limited-time transfers from September 26, 2024, to October 17, 2024.
What doesn’t work: Switching from an early access server to a full launch server. The transfer restriction will be lifted on early access servers at a later time.
Here is a video guide on fishing in Throne and Liberty:
Start video
Throne and Liberty: So angelt ihr richtig
Are there restrictions for the free server transfer? Yes, there are! Until October 17, 2024, you can apply for a total of two tickets for a free server transfer. The free transfer tickets are only valid for 24 hours after they are used, preventing players from stockpiling them.
During the free transfer period, there is no cooldown phase. This will change after October 17, 2024. Then, tickets for server transfers must be purchased with Luzent, and there will be a 30-day cooldown for server transfers.
What else do I need to know about Throne and Liberty? Throne and Liberty will be released on October 1, 2024, for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. There will be crossplay between platforms. The MMORPG aims to monetize through an in-game shop, battle pass, real money currencies, and the sale of early access packages. You’ll find all the important information in our comprehensive overview: All you need to know about classes, release, crossplay, gameplay, payment model, early access, platforms of Throne and Liberty.

With Season 6, numerous changes are coming to Diablo 4, particularly affecting the classes. On the PTR, some were simply too weak – especially the supposedly strong Barbarian. But that is set to change.
With Season 6 and the expansion “Vessel of Hatred,” Blizzard is overhauling fundamental mechanics in Diablo 4. The World Tiers will become Difficulty Levels, the progression system will be restructured – including a new max level of 60. Additionally, Paragon points will in the future be separated from character levels.
Blizzard is also adjusting class balance for the upcoming season. In the last livestream, the developers explained on October 2 that they would make adjustments to the classes based on the feedback from the PTR. The Barbarians had been too weak there and will be improved, but others will also receive buffs.

Season 6 adjusts all classes
New skills are coming for the five classes in Diablo 4 in Season 6, as well as some new Uniques and Mythic Uniques. Players were able to test the updates at the PTR in early September.
In the YouTube livestream, game designer Charles Dunn explained that the feedback from the PTR had been very helpful. It helps the team to make all classes as fun and engaging as possible, the developer states.
What changes for the Barbarian? Barbarians are among the strongest classes in Diablo 4 and are known for crazy OP builds that were often nerfed. However, on the PTR, the class performed too weakly, according to the developers. That is set to change soon.
The skill “Stir Up” is set to receive a damage improvement – from 88% to 100%. The damage bonus of the item “Twin Strikes” will also be increased from 10-40% to 30-60%. Other items will also be improved.
What changes for the Druid? The Druid was also not strong enough on the PTR for Season 6. Regarding the central passive ability “Wrath of Nature,” a problem that occurred on the test server will be fixed. Additionally, Paragon nodes will be revamped.
The developers are also adjusting an aspect as well as the “Grand Staff of the Vettel” concerning the damage bonus. The affix “Critical Hit Damage” will be replaced; instead, the staff will gain the affix that allows “Storm Strike” to affect twice.
What changes for the Necromancer? The Necromancer had been too “squishy” on the PTR and simply lacked enough defense. Therefore, the primary changes here will be to the defensive bonuses of skills, but also those affecting damage.
The skill “Bloody Harvest” will receive higher damage reduction. The central passive skill “Kalans Edict” will allow minions not only an increased attack speed but also increased damage per active minion. Overall, the companions of the Necromancer will be strengthened with some buffs. In Season 4, the minion build was one of the strongest builds in the game.
Below, you can see the changes in the screenshots from the English-language YouTube livestream:
What changes for the Rogues? The Rogue has performed quite well on the PTR according to the developers, receiving a lot of positive feedback, especially for the new skill “Dance of Knives.” In return, however, some other skills are being adjusted.
The passive skill “Punish” was reportedly bugged on the PTR and will be adjusted. The skill “Arrow Rain” will receive an increase in damage bonuses, as will the hardening recipes for that skill. Additionally, the infusion bonus for “Arrow Rain” will be increased.
What changes for the Sorceresses? On the PTR, the Sorceress was “definitely the strongest class,” explains Charles Dunn. Especially the new central passive skill “Enlightenment” has been well received by players. However, it has caused errors, which will be revised. The skill is still expected to be strong afterwards.
Furthermore, items are being revised, such as the wand “The Oculus.” Instead of the current affix for teleport size, there will now be a chance that teleportation will deal double damage.
Below, you can see the changes in the screenshots from the English-language YouTube livestream:
Community Director Adam Fletcher emphasizes in the livestream that these are not all the changes being made to the classes and skills in Diablo 4 with Season 6. A complete overview can be found in the patch notes on the Blizzard website.
Game designer Charles Dunn explains in the livestream that the team is closely monitoring feedback about the classes – whether it’s about which builds are fun, whether something is over- or underpowered, or how players are playing the classes. This feedback helps the developers make the game as good as possible, Dunn notes.
On Steam, a new co-op game has left Early Access that may interest fans of Hades. As one of nine well-known fairytale characters, you fight against nightmarish creatures in a horror setting.
Which game is it? Ravenswatch is an action-roguelike on Steam, where you play a dark version of well-known figures from fairy tales and legends. On September 26, 2024, the game left Early Access after more than a year.
The nightmare has invaded the Reverie, the world of dreams, and is corrupting everything in its path. Now it is up to the heroes of Ravenswatch to save the inhabitants of the Reverie and defeat the nightmare.
The dark fairytale aspect of Ravenswatch is once again made clear in the launch trailer for the release. It begins with a well-known character from a Brothers Grimm fairytale, but gives her a special twist.
You can watch the trailer here:

Ravenswatch: The Launch Trailer for ‘Hades with Fairy Tale Characters’ on Steam
What does the trailer show? It begins with a woman in a red hooded cloak, staggering through a dark forest, injured. In the background, a narrator quotes excerpts from the tale of Little Red Riding Hood – so it should be clear who this is.
Besides Little Red Riding Hood (called Scarlet in the game), there are eight other playable characters at release. They are:
The Pied Piper of Hamelin
The Snow Queen
The dragon slayer Beowulf
Aladdin with his magic lamp
The siren Melusine
The monkey king Sun Wukong
Pinocchio’s creator Geppetto
The vampire Carmilla
Little Red Riding Hood in dark and Hades in comparison
Unlike the fairytale, Scarlet is not eaten by the big bad wolf: She is the big bad wolf. While she fights with a dagger during the day, she transforms into a werewolf at night. Her playstyle thus varies depending on the time of day.
Where does the comparison to Hades come from? Ravenswatch not only has a similar look to its genre counterpart, it also follows a similar gameplay principle. Like in Hades, you start over after each death, but with each run, you also uncover more of the characters’ and the Reverie’s story.
Unlike in Hades, there is a co-op mode in Ravenswatch for up to four players. So you don’t have to go hunting for nightmares alone.

The first film of the Star Wars saga is legendary today. However, in retrospect, a lie has crept in that denies the rebels some significant victories.
The intro of Star Wars is cult. After the line “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” appears, the fanfare and the prologue text follow, which briefly explains the initial situation of each film.
This was already the case with the first part, Episode 4 in 1977, and it has not changed to this day. However, precisely in the first installment, a lie has crept into the text that was revealed only years later through series and the canon of Star Wars.
Star Wars Episode IV – Trailer for the download version
The rebels already celebrated victories before Rogue One
What lie is being referred to? In the intro of “A New Hope”, there is talk of “the first victory against the evil Galactic Empire.” This refers to the Battle of Scarif, during which the rebels managed to steal the plans of the Death Star.
This event is depicted in the film Rogue One and marks a turning point in the conflict between the Rebellion and the Empire. However, the statement that this was the first victory of the rebels is not correct.
As seen in the series Rebels, there were already successful battles and victories against the Empire prior to this. Scarif was therefore not the first.
One could still argue that the rebels before the Battle of Scarif were more made up of various small groups and resistance movements and did not form a united front. However, there were recognizable structures and key figures within the Alliance even before the events of Rogue One.
How can this be explained? Star Wars was created in 1977, and back then it was not clear how vast the universe would become. Therefore, the intro text probably simply did not take any potential backstories into account.
In retrospect, it was fitting to tell the complex history of the Alliance in all its details in series like Rebels. The series creators probably did not want to hide the first triumphs of the rebels, even if they contradict the prologue of the first film. It is a “mistake” that is easy to forgive. Also, aside from the films, there are interesting characters worth a look: One of the best Star Wars games introduced a powerful character who was even able to defeat Darth Vader.

For a few hours, mages could really troll hard in World of Warcraft. They could lock other players in – for as long as they wanted.
It is well known that players of World of Warcraft can sometimes be masterful trolls when it comes to annoying their fellow players a little. But for a few hours, mages had nearly unlimited power. They were able to take all other characters hostage and give them plenty of time to ponder the meaning of life.
Blame it on a PvP spell.
Start video
WoW: The War Within – Forces Within
What kind of exploit is this? Ice Wall is a spell available to mages as a PvP talent. The spell does exactly what the name suggests: It creates a long wall of ice that counts as an obstacle and blocks the line of sight. In PvP battles, it is used to separate enemies from the group or to temporarily close off chokepoints. However, since the Ice Wall only has 40% of the mage’s hit points, it is usually destroyed within a few seconds.
What was somehow overlooked: The Ice Wall spell could also be used in the capital city of Darnassus – a sanctuary. PvP combat is not allowed here. This meant that mages were able to blockade entrances to houses, such as the inn or the auction house.

Since no PvP battles are allowed and the Ice Wall affects both allies and enemies, both of whom cannot attack the wall, the area is effectively sealed off.
A single mage can only maintain the Ice Wall for a short time, as the spell lasts only 15 seconds. However, if 6 mages came together, they were able to lock their victims “forever” in the corresponding house. At least until the victims frustratedly used their hearthstone or found another way to escape.
What did Blizzard do? After it became known in the WoW subreddit that mages could use their icy wall in Darnassus – and in other cities – it took only a few hours for Blizzard to push out a hotfix. Now the wall can no longer be used in cities, making it impossible to lock other players in rooms.
Even though such exploits are funny, it is best to avoid using them excessively. Teasing another character for a short while may be okay, but if you restrict the enjoyment of the game for others for an extended time, the likelihood of receiving several reports is extremely high – and this can potentially lead to a penalty on your account. Someone who also loves exploiting is Rextroy – but he also reports the bugs he finds immediately to Blizzard.

Starfield: Shattered Space was released on September 30, 2024, and is receiving mediocre reviews on Steam.
What kind of DLC is this? Starfield: Shattered Space is the first story expansion for Bethesda’s sci-fi role-playing game. In it, players find themselves on a new planet, in the city of Dazra. There, they must uncover the mysteries of the followers of the “Great Serpent.”
Shattered Space was released on September 30, 2024, without much fanfare for Xbox and PC. Owners of the base game can claim the DLC for 29.99 Euros, unless they have already obtained access through the Premium Edition of Starfield.
As Design Director Emil Pagliarulo explained in an interview with GamesRadar, inspiration was drawn from a completely different game by Bethesda: Morrowind. The themes and overall vibe of the classic role-playing game are particularly reflected in the city of Dazra.
This city is quite unique, especially in comparison to other cities in Starfield, when it comes to its fiction and aesthetics, according to Pagliarulo. But how is this received by players?
You can get a glimpse of the expansion in the launch trailer:

Starfield Reveals Its First Story Expansion Shattered Space in Launch Trailer
Only balanced reviews on Steam
How was the expansion received? Shattered Space caused a small peak in player numbers for Starfield on Steam at launch on September 30: At the peak, nearly 21,800 players were in the game simultaneously, the highest number since December 2023, about 3 months after release.
For the majority of these players, however, the spark did not really ignite: On Steam, Shattered Space holds a lukewarm “mixed” overall rating, with only 41% recommending the expansion.
However, in the Starfield subreddit, some fans also show enthusiasm. For one player, Shattered Space is even the best DLC Bethesda has ever made. The thread has nearly 3,800 upvotes on Reddit.
A glance at the comments and reviews quickly reveals where this discrepancy comes from. Shattered Space seems to be, for better or worse, mainly one thing: more Starfield. One player writes on Reddit: “I’m about 6 hours in, and this is definitely what the base game should have been.”
Particularly the city of Dazra impresses: players feel transported to a kind of space Skyrim, with one even demanding that all other cities in the game be overhauled in the style of Dazra (via Reddit).
However, those who did not warm up to Starfield will likely find little joy in the expansion. On Steam, players also criticize the extent of the expansion: the DLC can be completed in about 4.5 hours, and an additional 2 hours for 100% completion.
New companions, gameplay features, or ship parts are nowhere to be found. Many find the price point of 30 Euros simply too high.
A gamer approached the community with a very special request: He wanted to get exactly one point on Steam. His wish was apparently granted personally by a Valve employee.
What was the deal with the point? Steam points are a currency with which one can purchase cosmetics for their profile and chat or reward contributions from others in the Steam Points Shop. You earn them for purchases on Steam or for contributions like reviews, guides, and workshop content that have been priced by other users.
A user recognized a special opportunity in his Steam points – but he needed help from the community to achieve it.
Even Valve CEO Gabe Newell is always up for some fun:

User recognizes the chance for a gag on his profile
What was the problem? A gamer reached out on December 24, 2023, in the Steam subreddit under the name CoffeeAndPistachios. He wanted to know how to earn exactly one point on Steam. To illustrate his point, he shared an image of his current points balance: it stood at 68,999.
Although the user did not say it explicitly, everyone could probably guess why he wanted to reach exactly that amount.
Unfortunately, the endeavor proved to be not so easy. CoffeeAndPistachios received over 500 responses – including some suggestions that he should aim for 421 or 691 additional points instead – but there was hardly a practical solution offered.
Theoretically, the gamer would just need to buy a game for 1 cent on Steam to get the point. However, the pricing policy of Steam prohibits this: a game can only be offered for a minimum of 0.99 cents, or 0.49 dollars on sale.
Others advised the player to contact support. However, as it turned out, that was completely unnecessary.

This was the solution: CoffeeAndPistachios returned the day after his post with a new screenshot: his points balance had magically increased to 69,000. The user couldn’t explain it himself: “I’m kind of losing my mind, I did nothing, where did the one point come from?”
On the advice of the community, the gamer checked his transaction history in the Steam Points Shop and found an adjustment that had been made by support the night before. An anonymous employee from Valve seems to have granted CoffeeAndPistachios the missing point in a covert operation.
How exactly this heroic deed was carried out is not entirely clear, as the gamer never mentioned his Steam name. It is quite possible that an employee searched the database for that exact value – so perhaps not just CoffeeAndPistachios had a surprise in his points balance the next morning.
Traveling through a radioactive exclusion zone is no Sunday stroll – as crazy as this action RPG on Steam may seem, such a trip in real life shouldn’t become like that.
Which game is it about? We are talking about Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone, an action RPG with elements of science fiction. In it, you travel through a post-apocalyptic game world inspired by the Chernobyl exclusion zone. There, as a result of the reactor catastrophe, a new element called Chernobylite has emerged, which everyone is searching for.
In the open game world of Chernobyl, you not only have to face various creatures but also other humans – unless you can convince them with words. In the gameplay trailer, the developers show what you need to prepare for.
You can watch the trailer here:

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone shows the radioactive zone in the gameplay trailer
What does the trailer show? The game world consists of dense forests, abandoned huts, and empty building complexes that are bathed in a creepy green light due to the Chernobylite. Exploration takes place from the first-person perspective, where you can access a futuristic tablet with a minimap and scanner.
Action battles, base building, and teamwork
For the battles, the game switches to third-person view, where you have a variety of weapons available for melee and ranged combat. In Chernobyl, you not only have to fend off radioactive mutants but also animated machines made from scrap lying around.
Between battles, you build a base, learn skills, craft new equipment, and assemble a team of survivors. This way, you improve your chances of surviving in the inhospitable world and grabbing some of the coveted Chernobylite for yourself.
When will Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone be released? The developers have not yet provided an exact release date, but they are aiming for a release in 2025 on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Space Marine 2 is a game set in the popular Warhammer 40,000 universe by Games Workshop. The CCO of the studio behind the game says that development has been tough and discusses strict approvals from the licensors.
Who is speaking? In an interview with IGN, the CCO of Saber Interactive, Tim Willits, talks about working with the licensors of Games Workshop. They have a very robust approval system for everything partners create with a license, for example, Warhammer 40,000.
Specifically, he explains that they received very detailed feedback to ensure everything in the game would be perfect. However, he also says: Forty-five years ago, when the guy who created the little Space Marine sat at the table, he probably couldn’t imagine animating the [Space Marine] in a video game 45 years later. And I can tell you, that was really hard.
Start video
Space Marine 2: Clive Standen erklärt, was ein Space Marine ist
Everything was scrutinized – Even the wrong armor size
What were the challenges? During the conversation, Willits mentions that much of the feedback from the developers was challenging – but Games Workshop guided the developers rather than demanding changes.
For instance, when they were working on the Tyranids and their attacks, one of the Games Workshop people said: Oh, this Tyranid doesn’t attack like that. Or: You can’t let this Chaos Marine do that. In the end, the developers adjusted some things, but also pushed back at times.
A specific example, according to Willits, is a certain piece of armor for the Space Marines: The ankle armor we had, the ankle armor was the wrong size, and they told us that the ankle armor was wrong.
Why is Games Workshop so involved? Tim Willits also has a few words on this:
If you have a universe as vast as Games Workshop’s with Warhammer, you must protect it as if it were your own baby because it is. And there are millions of people who love this franchise, and if we mess up even just one emblem or get a chapter wrong, it’s just embarrassing.
Meeting the expectations of the licensor and the Warhammer 40,000 community was very important to the developers. After four years of development and the effort to implement everything according to the source material, Willits claims to be very proud of his team and the game. They respected and honored the source material: And if you have the respect of the core fans, everything else becomes easier.
The streamer Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm fulfilled his dream of having his own gaming studio a few years ago, where the vertical shooter “Deadrop” was developed. DrDisrespect was a co-founder, idea keeper, and frontman of the studio. However, the studio he founded, Midnight Society, kicked the streamer out when they learned about his scandal. DrDisrespect said in a stream that it will all blow over.
That’s why the studio parted ways with DrDisrespect: In 2017, DrDisrespect exchanged messages with a person who was still a minor at the time on Twitch; the messages were – as he stated – “partially inappropriate” or at least veered too much into the direction of being inappropriate.
In another version, he stated, he had only “flirted” with the person – in any case, it was not sexting or anything like that. Everything was also legal; the person was apparently above the age of consent.
Nevertheless, DrDisrespect was banned from Twitch in 2020 due to these messages, and when the reasons for his ban on Twitch were revealed in June 2024, many advertising partners ended their collaborations, friends distanced themselves from him, YouTube demonetized his channel and even his own gaming studio ended its collaboration with DrDisrespect.

At that time, it was said that they initially suspected his innocence, then spoke to people, and decided to terminate the collaboration with DrDisrespect immediately.
DrDisrespect learned live on YouTube in June 2024 that his studio was parting ways with him. The news apparently caught him off guard. He still seemed to think that he could just wait for the trouble to pass.
We summarize the backstory of DrDisrespect for you here on MeinMMO:

“We’ll be back soon – No problem at all”
This is what DrDisrespect said now: In a current stream, DrDisrespect conveyed the impression that it wasn’t that bad at all. He was asked by a viewer why he still had Midnight Society listed in his description on Twitch.
The streamer said: That is also his studio, his game, and his vision. Eric and he built the studio; it is still his baby. He feels that they just need to wait a little bit longer and then “we’re back in, champs, no problem.”

This is what the studio says: In a statement to the site Decrypt, a spokesperson says: These statements have no basis and are “simply not true.”
They amicably parted ways with DrDisrespect and will always be grateful for what he did for the project. However, the focus is on releasing Deadrop in 2025.
Currently, the studio is in crisis mode; without the star DrDisrespect, the previous budget planning seems to no longer work, and they already had to take countermeasures and lay off many employees. Deadrop is intended to be a vertical extraction shooter and is planned for PC; later, the game is also supposed to be released for Xbox and PS5: Gaming studio fires DrDisrespect first – 3 months later, probably half of the staff

Terminator 2 is one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s most famous and also best movies. But one important change compared to the first part did not please the actor at all.
Terminator 2 is considered one of the best sequels of all time. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a critic score of 91%, and the users rate it with 95%.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was once again seen in the title role, but director James Cameron came up with a special twist for the second part of his action series. When Schwarzenegger found out, he was initially not thrilled at all, similar to an iconic line from part 1.
Trailer for the sci-fi classic ‘Terminator 2 – Judgment Day’ with Arnold Schwarzenegger
The Terminator is supposed to be a hero?
What twist is it about? In Terminator 1, Arni clearly played the villain – a cyborg who travels from the future to the present to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) before she gives birth to her son. Sarah is the mother of John Connor, who will save humanity as an adult.
In Terminator 2 , James Cameron wanted to surprise the audience and changed the orientation of the protagonist. Schwarzenegger’s character was to no longer be the murderous combat machine but to become the hero of the story.
The T-800, as his cyborg model is called, takes it upon himself to protect Sarah and her child John. Among other things, from the T-1000, another version of the Terminator.
James Cameron told Empire that his friend and lead actor Arnold Schwarzenegger did not like this significant change compared to its predecessor.
Arnold hated the idea. I had the script, which had just come out hot from the printer, in my briefcase and made it to the airplane with several actors and directors that [studio] Carolco flew to Cannes. Arnold reads it on the plane and we have breakfast the next morning in Cannes. He had this look. “Look, Jim, I read it, it’s very well written, but I don’t kill anyone. “
While the character in part 1 acted ruthlessly, Schwarzenegger was disturbed by the apparent change of heart. The actor also questioned whether his character had really become one of the good guys or if he was just pretending. Cameron replied that this question can only be clarified during the collaborative work on the film.
